Christophe - Thanks for telling me that! Unfortunately due to some problems thay are not showing it live here so I am still watching it. I guessed as much though. I cried when Mika's car broke down. Did I tell everyone that I love Mika?
Oops, interview with Mika now. Seeya later!

Vinay,
I own a Honda Accord 4-door and let me tell you something:
If I had a hatchback instead of my sedan, it would be hell on earth trying to get people in and out of that thing.

It is already cramped enough as it is, even with 4 doors, and the fact remains that it is still hard to get in and out of that thing since it is so low (I started my driving in a Chevy Suburban back when I had my permit -- higher is better IMO).

My car has a sunroof and power everything and she is still a sporty little thing (when she is clean -- we live on a dirt county road) even if she does have 4 doors.

Originally posted by abahta I'd say the hatchback. I wouldn't want my first car to be a big one...and I like little fast things. The hatchback probably will cost less as well.

No such thing as a big Honda.. As for me, my next car will be either a Ford Explorer (sans Firestone tires), Nissan Xterra or a Dodge Bravado. This will be for family trips and outings. I would like to have a gas/electric hybrid for traveling to and from work though.

now, in CANADIAN dollars, the civic sedan 4 door base price is $17,900 ... the hatchback DX was $16,300

FIRST OF ALL, Honda is not producing hatchback's for 2001 and nobody knows about 2002, AND DX production was stopped and the model was replaced with the hatchback SE, which has power everything and costs $17,500 which is still available in the market

anyhow, i looked at the hatchback, its small, but its, too small, lol, if I wanted to pay for a really small car, I'd get a BMW Z8 .. hehe

anyhow, i pretty much settled on a black civic sedan SE (power doors, keyless entry, cd player is free instead of an addition) , automatic (i woulda gone for 5 speed, but i dont want to get standard unless i'm buying a sporty car, like a civic coupe SiR or something) ..

Freesources: why Honda? .. coz Honda has a reputation for reliability... AND civic honda's have good resale, if I get bored of it after 2 - 3 years ... i dont know much about Mazda, I like toyota's since I spent my teen life in a country which loves the toyota cressida which is unseen here since production stoppped a very long time ago
